Where Carson and Alfred have a little chat.

Downton Abbey is slowly recovering from the shock caused by Matthew's death. But when someone important from Robert's past come back, Crawley family's life can be shaken again. The story takes place in 1922, about eight months after the events that happened in the series three Christmas episode, and brings to light events that happened in Robert's life before his marriage to Cora.

After escaping an abusive marriage, Anna takes her daughter and finds herself at Downton Abbey, working alongside Mr Bates. AU - modern day.

A small collection of the best Sybil and Tom moments. Both in the show and AU.

Rob meets Thomas. It begins with a fleeting and surreal encounter in the london 's streets. Modern AU. Rob James Collier/Thomas Barrow

Edith had known it was a bad idea and sought refuge in a quiet place. But she was discovered.

In 4.05 Anna and Bates talked in the boot room, then a night passed and the next morning, things seemed okay between them. What happened during the night?

What were Anna's thoughts during hers and Bates' conversation in the Boot room during episode 4.05? Spoilers for 4.05!

One shot for 4.5. Cora reflects on the first birthday she helped Robert to celebrate, prompting her to consider a goal for their future.

A story of Mr. Carson, Mrs. Hughes, and dancing. It begins when Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes are about to sit down for a chat during the wee hours of the morning of January 1, 1921, but are interrupted by unexpected visitors. Follow-up to "One Little Word." AU after S3. No S4 spoilers.

How was he here today?

After the opera singer and the rest have left, Bates wonders at his wife's behaviour. Headfic, spoilers for season 4 episode 3. Should be lower rated than the episode. Second chapter (again, Bate's headfic, during 4.5) now up. Listed as complete because I expect Julian Fellowes to finish this plot. I am merely augmenting it, though I may continue to do so.

William can't sleep one night, because he's thinking of someone special. Thomas wakes up and begins teasing.

Sir Anthony Strallan never expected his life would be turned upside down at the Callendar Becketts' Ball early in the summer of 1914. Lady Edith Crawley never expected that any man would choose her above her more alluring sisters. They were both wrong. NOW COMPLETE!

It was the eventful day when Mr. Napier and Mr. Pamuk were invited by the Crawley family for fox hunting. Edith has been feeling left out of the love scene as her effort to romantically connect with Matthew had been left unwanted. This is an alteration of the story in season 1 on what it would be like had things turned out differently for Mr. Pamuk's character.

Robert and Cora had a little "pillow talk" after dinner about things that happened that day, especially about his newly discovered talent for poetry. One shot. It happened at night, at the same day Robert had delivered his remarkable line "If we don't respect the past we will find it harder to build our future". SERIES 4 - SPOILER ALERT

Sometimes Thomas thought it was hard being the only gay in the abbey, especially when everyone is generally a bit OOC and there's not as much innuendo as you'd expect.

One shot for 4.3. After initially finding himself in the dog house, Robert's fortunes improve thanks to a gallantry performance at dinner which he then attempts to use to his advantage.

SPOILERS FOR SERIES 4x5. This is my take on what was going on through Anna and Bates' head when he confronted her in the boot room.

Rosamund is convinced that Edith is settling for second best with Gregson so she decides to try some damage limitation. Spoiler alert : Contains references to 4.4

Mary and Robert come into the library after a walk and see an unexpected sight. Cuteness.

One-shot, season one, possibly AU or at least OOC. Takes place probably after episode 2. At his first ball of the season, Matthew is designated to dance with Mary. Nervous to be dancing with his aloof yet alluring cousin, Matthew soon finds himself in an embarrassing predicament, and Mary has no plans of letting him off the hook easily. Mainly gratuitous smut.

Modern AU - Lady Sybil Crawley is a young and wealthy girl living in London with her family, wanting to become more independent by learning to drive. She goes to speak to their new chauffeur, Tom Branson, about getting some driving lessons….

Late one night, Mary Crawley drinks whiskey with Charles Blake. He's talking about politics, she's hardly listening... What could possibly happen next? Written in response to a tumblr prompt and has subsequently taken wings. S04 spoilers.
